I had some nice colorful bits lying around from a variety of sewing projects lately, and thought I would put them to good use. Enter the scrappy table runner! To be honest, I was planning to put this up on Etsy to sell, but I botched the seam where I turned it inside out, so decided to keep it for now. Basically, I started sewing bits of pieces together to make pieces swaths, and then connected them together in pleasing ways until I had a swath that was approximately runner-sized. Nothing more complicated than that in terms of technique-- I was just looking to use up some scraps and create something pleasing to the eye. :) Double stitching around the border, sandwiched with light batting and backed in a substantial purple cotton, this should wear well, and looks nice on my dining room table with the telephone wire bowl I got in Joburg. So maybe it is fate that I screwed up the seam. Either way, I am happy to have turned some bits and pieces into something practical and beautiful. On to the next project!
